Shrinkage compensation of holes via shrinkage of interior structure in FDM process

2018-02-01
An interior design methodology to compensate for the shrinkage in the holes of artifacts fabricated with desktop 3D printers employing fused deposition modeling process is presented in this study. In the conventional way of compensating, the initial geometry is scaled according to the predictive and statistical models so that the critical dimensions will be more accurate when the part is cooled down. The proposed method employs a completely different paradigm. It constructs various interior structures to compensate for the shrinkage in the holes according to the geometric attributes of the artifacts. In other words, the method utilizes shrinkage as a tool to compensate for the shrinkage. Printed interior line segments, which are directly connected to the perimeter of the hole, simply pull the hole towards the inside of the artifact. In result, the dimensional accuracy of the hole is improved considerably. The measurements with a coordinate measuring machine and the numerical analysis revealed that the proposed design approach can decrease the dimensional error substantially compared to the conventional 3D printed parts.

Shrinkage compensation approach proposed for ABS material in FDM process
Dilberoğlu, Mecid Uğur; Yaman, Ulaş (Informa UK Limited, 2019-03-25)
Dimensional accuracy of parts manufactured by Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) greatly suffers from the shrinkage problems of the available polymer materials. This paper proposes a constructive idea for resolving the shrinkage issues and explains how shrinkage could be managed by interior geometry of the artifacts fabricated on desktop 3D printers. The main principle for preventing the deterioration on dimensional accuracy of the holes/slots is to utilize the auxiliary lines located from the hole's perimete...
Experimental analysis of curved laminated beam
Uzhan, Tevfik; Aşık, Mehmet Zülfü; Department of Engineering Sciences (2010)
In this thesis, experimental studies are carried out on curved laminated glass beams to form a database for the scientists who may like to test their mathematical models. Beams which are only free to rotate and constrained in radial direction at both ends are tested to make the data available for further calculations. Test setup is prepared to minimize error that could occur due to test setup and data readings. Material testing machine and 4 channel data collecting machine are used to measure the signals at...
Optomechanical analysis and experimental validation of bonding based prism and mirror mounts in a laser system
Ünal, Uğur; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012)
In this thesis, different optomechanical design and adhesive configurations for mounting mirrors and prisms used in a laser system are investigated. Maintaining stability and strength of optical components of a laser device is difficult especially if the system is to be used in military environment. In order to determine the strength of prism mounts to high acceleration levels, mathematical correlations derived by Yoder are used. By use of these mathematical correlations, safety factor of different prism mo...
Exact solution of rotating FGM shaft problem in the elastoplastic state of stress
Akis, Tolga; Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-10-01)
Plane strain analytical solutions to estimate purely elastic, partially plastic and fully plastic deformation behavior of rotating functionally graded (FGM) hollow shafts are presented. The modulus of elasticity of the shaft material is assumed to vary nonlinearly in the radial direction. Tresca's yield criterion and its associated flow rule are used to formulate three different plastic regions for an ideal plastic material. By considerina different material compositions as well as a wide range of bore radi...
Design and analysis of filament wound composite tubes
Balya, Bora; Parnas, Kemal Levend; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004)
This thesis is for the investigation of the design and analysis processes of filament wound composite tubes under combined loading. The problem is studied by using a computational tool based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). Filament wound tubes are modeled as multi layered orthotropic tubes. Several analyses are performed on layered orthotropic tubes by using FEM. Results of the FEM are examined in order to investigate characteristics of filament wound tubes under different combined loading conditions. W...
